I work in a chemical plant. Some water treatment stuff, some biocides, and some super nasty stuff.

I had a hose burst yesterday. Fuck.

Got soaked with a chemical trace. PPE did exactly nothing. 10 minutes in a safety shower, and another 15 in a hot shower. Got home, still felt itchy, decided that it was a trace, so it might show up under a black light. Guess who glows neon green under a black light. Fuck. 2 more showers, and then I scrubbed with 90% rubbing alcohol. I no longer have any bright green spots, just sort of an all over glow.

If I develop superpowers, I will probably use them for evil. I will accept applications for minions and lackeys.

Relevant because I just finished rewriting a Health & Safety document on PPE usage this week. For the oilfield services company I work for.

If you develop something gross looking, be sure to post pictures so I can use them at safety meetings.

At least it wasn't hydrofluoric acid. If you want nightmare fuel look up HF acid burns on GIS. I'm too lazy because mobile.
